On Ubuntu 24.04 the ovmf package only ships OVMF_CODE_4M.fd, but the qemu2 health check stats OVMF_CODE.fd first and fails the provider with PROVIDER_QEMU2_NOT_FOUND. I have taught qemuFirmwarePath to use whichever file exists, preferring the old name. This lets #23688 drop its CI symlink once it lands, but it does not cover the macOS runner story. Tests: go test ./pkg/minikube/registry/drvs/qemu2/... passes, including a new TestFirstExistingFirmware. Related to #23628.

The ovmf package on Ubuntu 24.04 only ships OVMF_CODE_4M.fd, but qemuFirmwarePath always returns OVMF_CODE.fd. The provider status check stats that path first, so minikube start fails with PROVIDER_QEMU2_NOT_FOUND before qemu ever runs.

Related to kubernetes#23628.

Hi @marwan562. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
